Steve Utash, 54, of Roseville, remains hospitalized with severe head injuries he suffered when a mob of at least six people beat and kicked him April 2 after he stopped to help David Harris on Detroit’s east side. Harris was treated for leg and other injuries.

“I didn’t hear anything racial, but it’s hard to tell everything that was being said because people were all yelling at the same time,” Hughes told the Detroit News. “I know some people were screaming, ‘You hit my cousin,’ and ‘You hit my nephew,’ but I didn’t hear anyone say ‘You white so-and-so’ or anything like that.”

Clergy from Detroit and the suburbs are expected to host “A Night of Healing” and prayer Thursday at 7 p.m. at Historic Little Rock Baptist Church in Detroit. A news release says members of Utash’s family will attend the program, among others.
